Library Bags : Encouraging a Love of Literature!
I took the kids to a Pajama Storytime, earlier this week. They enjoyed it very much and wanted to bring some books home. How does a Momma say no to that? I got a library card for my son, who is almost 5, and let the kids choose some books. The lesson I learned was
Gathered Clutch Purse : Tutorial Link
Christmas isn’t all that far away, especially since we generally exchange gifts with my parents at Thanksgiving (airfare is FAR cheaper then… and it isn’t total overload for the kids.) This year, I’m hoping to get most of our holiday preparations done at home, instead of through stores. This is going to mean a lot
Sewing Machine Cover
My sewing machine is a keeper. I absolutely adore it. I don’t know what the parts are called, or the names of techniques I use. I don’t generally know what foot I have on my machine, or even the name of the stitch I chose to use. BUT… I can sure use it. And use
The Hand-me-WAY-down Dress
When this shirt didn’t fit, I wasn’t surprised, or upset. BUT… I KNEW that fabric would be great for something! There had to be something that I could use it for, right? When I happened upon this 20 minute ruffle dress tutorial today on Baby Making Machine, I knew that I could turn it into a dress… and
Travel Pillows! WIN!!!

Sippee Cup Leashes : Tutorial Link
Another thing I dread about travel is dropped kid stuff on the plane. I mean, what is grosser than a sippee cup rolling around on the floor of a plane? Okay, pleanty of things… but still. Ewwww!!! So… when I came across the tutorial for the Sippy Cup Leash by Make It and Love It, I
Baby Doll Leash… CREEPY!
Just as I don’t like travel pillows and sippees dragging on the floor in an airport (or anywhere, for that matter,) I also don’t like baby dolls dragging on the floor either. I cut ribbon as long as I thought the doll should fall from their seatbelts … plus 4 inches longer on each end.
Denim Travel Shoes – Tutorial Link
The part I dread most about air travel is going through security. I’m excited that both of my kids can walk and follow basic instructions at this point, but taking off all of our shoes and whatnot turns into quite a chore… and then there is the re-dressing of everyone. Sheesh! I started thinking about
Angry Birds Beanbags
My son. He cracks me up! His Grandma got him hooked on Angry Birds some time ago. I wasn’t completely impressed. Until he started playing Bad Piggies… check that out! Anyway, I stopped looking for ideas for what to make for the baby shower we’ll be going to soon, and started looking for ideas for things
Baby Shower Gifts : Taggie Blanket & Photo Cube
Okay, if you think I’ve gone a little overboard on the baby gifts, you might be right… BUT… I’ve been itching to sew for a while and making more diapers for my kids is great, but making fun stuff is even better! FIRST: The Tag Blanket Tutorial on Bits of Everything is what I used for
